    Cons: Unusable in low light. Manual focus can be a bit tricky. Not suitable for anything that moves quickly.

    Pros: Very good value for the money. Super light and maneuverable.

    Summary: Takes great shots but only in the right conditions. Make sure you get your focus spot on and you'll be fine. Mirror lenses aren't as bad as everyone makes out.
